Can someone "sound" attractive?

Post » Tue Nov 29, 2011 11:44 am

So what the hell else can you describe it as? I can't think of any words to describe an attractive person that doesn't involve looking at something besides, well, the word attractive.

Describe what? I'm not trying to describe anything.

And are you honestly telling me that you've never equated a voice that you've never seen the owner of with a sixy/beautiful/hot person?

No, because there are people with sixy/beautiful/hot voices who are not sixy/beautiful/hot; and vice versa.

And since when do humans think rationally?

I'm not human. :frog:

Hmm... I think we both may be a bit confused...

Let me try again: I never said that people with Beautiful/sixy/hot voices had to actually be sixy/beautiful/hot. All I'm saying is that people tend to equate sixy voices with having a sixy speaker, and decidedly un-six voices with a not-so-sixy speaker.

And I don't do that, because it's not a certainty. :shrug:

But on-topic, I think that voices themselves can be attractive. Or more specifically, accents. :hubbahubba:

Hey guys!

Yes, a rather frivolous topic, I know, but I was having a conversation with a friend and we seem to disagree on a point. Basically, can someone "sound" attractive to you? Like, could someone sound "hot" or "cute" or "sixy"? When I say sound, I mean in speech of course. Well, what do you guys think?

Edit: Moreover, can the words "hot", "sixy" or "cute" be applied to a voice?


Yes, of course. Think of dudes like Isaiah Mustafah, i.e. the Old Spice Guy.

Wait... weren't we on topic? :huh:

And I don't do it either, but I'm pretty sure that neither you or I can speak for the rest of the species.

But anyway, I know that most people I've met think that Aussie accents are sixy. The actual Aussies I know find that funny.

Yeah, voices can be sixy. Hell, the two physical aspects of a chick that attract me are her voice and her cheekbones.

In a way. Never ever say the voice is sixy though, a lot of the time their looks are quite the opposite. O.O

Yes it can.

There was a study where people had to rate a persons attractiveness based on a voice sample. Sadly I don't have a source. The results were that women rated men with a darker voice as more attractive than those with a light voice. (can't remember the other way around)

So there's genetics in it, some people are just born with a more attractive voice.

But most of it really comes down to skill; how you use your voice. You probably know the saying: "it's not the size that counts, it's how you use it" - well in this case it's "it's not the pitch that counts, it's how you use it"
You can learn to sound more attractive just by practicing.
I'd go as far as saying your voicetone is one of your most revealing features. It's subconsious, but it can tell if you're nervous, confident, dominant, weak, shy, happy, sad, etc.

I've been doing voice training myself for some time now as a matter of fact. A good way is to watch a lot of movies and listen to how desirable actors sound like. For me it's men like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp and Bradley Cooper.
Recently I've added Commander Shepard of mass effect to that list. While some of his lines are a bit dull and void of emotion his voice actor delivers most of them with a cool, confident and commanding voice tone that just sounds attractive in my ears.

Of course I remember it, me and a friend of mine got into trouble with our parents when they found out we saw that movie, but I think that most people here are too young to either remember or appreciate such a movie...and yes, her voice really is sixy.

A sixy voice doesn't necessarily translate to physical beauty. When we hear what we perceive to be a sixy voice, it is common for a person to perceive that voice to be physical beauty (which is in the eye of the beholder), which isn't always the case. Hmmm, I see a pattern there...perception.

its nothing new to hear females say to me "your accent is" and then whatever they wish to add. and then there is the fact that i like girls with accent. so i think maybe there is something to the idea of sounding attractive. but i don't know.

I like these actor's/musicans' voices:
Michael Dorn
Barry White
Rick Bayless
Michael Hutchence
Temura Morrison
Tony Todd
Chris Isaak
Ewan Mc Gregor

I found my husband's voice very attractive during our early courtship, and still do.

As for equating physical attractiveness with voices, the voice is part of the total package.
A voice can compensate or detract from attractiveness, but such factors as personality, quirks, and physicality can likewise affect the attractiveness of the total package.

I'm a big fan of Lancashire/Yorkshire accents. I find them fascinating.

As a Scot, this may be considered treason.

I'm a straight guy and I want his body. And voice.

He probably impregnates women just by his presence.

On a similar note, practically everyone I know thinks that Australian accents are hot, much to the amusemant of my Australian friends.

Where is this magical place and how can I get there?

This place of wonder and mystery is the Southeastern US of A! Where we drive on the right side of the road and where thongs are not a form of shoe!

Hmm... I just turned you off to it, didn't I...

Well I don't own a car (Uni student) and flip-flops (as I believe you call them) still exist over there so expect to see me hamming my accent up for Southeastern US of A tail at some point

As if it's not hard enough to get laid around here, we also have some foreign Casanovas walking in and stealing our thunder. Just brilliant. Looks like I'm going to have to fire up the old Irish accent again. :evil:
